I Like the Nightlife … My backyard is far busier at night than I ever suspected. Sure, I knew we had plenty of critters, including possums, foxes, raccoons, rabbits, feral cats, deer, the occasional coyote and on even rarer occasion, otters. But the only ones I see frequently are the deer and a raccoon now and then. The coyotes are, as you likely know, skittish and tough to spot. But when the thermal lights go on, they all appear like a lottery winner’s long-lost relatives. Just point the P13 toward the tree line, and those hidden residents suddenly glow like…
Mossberg was one of the first innovators within the “non-NFA, shotshell-firing firearm” space with the introduction of its pump-action 590 Shockwave in 2017. The hallmark of the design was its bird’s head grip configuration, which allowed the firearm to be equipped with a shortened 14.5” barrel while remaining at an overall length of just over 26”. Soon after, several other companies followed with variants of this non-NFA design, including some semi-automatic models. But Mossberg stuck with its pump-action Shockwave until 2025, when the company released its semi-automatic 990 Aftershock. Watch our “Gun Of The Week” video above to see the…

This article gives another perspective on understanding ballistics charts. Introduction I am not much of a hunter. Over the past five years going up to my in-law’s place, I’ve taken about a dozen shots at the feral pigs that root up sections of their land. I have zero hits on running pigs. If you line up a handful of soda cans filled with water at 25 yards, I can go town on those. But with the pigs out at 200 yards, I am about useless, even when the neighbor has lent me his really nice hunting rifle. A few weeks…

I was worried I’d done something wrong, even though…
This fall, officials have moved to change regulations regarding the commercial menhaden fishing industry on both the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. The actions have highlighted serious and ongoing strains between the menhaden fishing companies and recreational anglers, who worry about the impacts that the fishery has on sport fish populations.Menhaden, or pogy, is a baitfish similar to herring, shad, and sardines. While sport anglers do not pursue the fish, the species is a foundational forage item for some of the most popular saltwater gamefish in the world: redfish in the Gulf Coast and stripers in the East Coast…
